[QUOTE="Art Of Flowers, post: 1631217, member: 375067"] I was on 2x500Mg Metformin daily at diagnosis when my HbA1C was 99 and blood glucose 13.1. A few months later my HbA1C dropped to 59 and I then only took one Metformin tablet a day. My blood glucose was typically 6.0-6.5 at that time. Three months after that when my HbA1C dropped to 44 I stopped taking Metformin. I have gradually cut out all high carb foods and started intermittent fasting, e.g. 16:8 fasting where you eat only within a 8 hour window per day e.g. 12:00-20:00. I didn't notice any rise in blood glucose after I stopped Metform. My blood glucose levels have continued to drop over time and are now around 5.0-5.5. The low carb diet I haver been on has allowed me to lose a lot of weight, about 13 Kg in the last year. My blood pressure is also better. Other benefits include more energy and better concentration. I did agree my reduction in Metformin with my diabetes nurse. [/QUOTE]
